Al Pacino will direct a movie based on behind-the-scenes footage from his current stage show of Oscar Wilde's biblical tragedy Salome.

In a similar vein to his 1996 Shakespeare-inspired docu-drama Looking for Richard, Salomaybe? will juxtapose rehearsal footage with fictional elements.

Pacino is currently appearing in the Robert Fox-produced play at the Wadsworth Theatre in Los Angeles as King Herod. Fox will produce the film along with Barry Navidi.

"Al is interested in the process that actors go through and what we go through as filmmakers," Navidi told Variety.
